Art For Progress Artist Happenings
Welcome to our April newsletter. We just completed our 4th annual "Clash of the Artists" competitions and we'd like to thank everyone who came out and supported the artists and AFP. It's always a special night and Clash of the Artists 2011 will be our 5th annual event!
In this issue of our newsletter we'll feature AFP's upcoming "Shorts and Beats San Francisco" event, a new partnership with Corel Software and events and opportunities from our calendar.

Art For Progress Artist Membership Benefits
AFP offers a host of valuable benefits for our artist members. 
Our health insurance program offers affordable options with low deductibles. Low deductibles are very important because high deductible plans hinder your ability to access care. High deductible plans are only good for catastrophic coverage. Currently, our basic HMO plan premium is around $310 per month with no deductible and a $20 copay for a doctor visit. If you live outside of New York, you can purchase coverage through our partner Fractured Atlas. When you purchase an AFP membership, you also get a free membership ($150) to Fractured Atlas.
Plays for Progress Kicks off Spring Season
What seperates each generation from the next? What makes them unique? Generation WHY seeks to answer these questions and more as it takes a closer look at Generation Y, those current 20/30 somethings who seek to make the world a different, better place but don't quite know how. Join the cast as they laugh, cry, search for love, secure careers and try to answer some of life's important questions of why we are here. Produced by Plays for Progress (PFP), in conjunction with Art For Progress (AFP), the sping show will be performed on April 30-May 2nd at the Milagro Theatre in Manhattan.
